What’s This TV Show About?

Airing on The CW television network, Arrow revolves around a billionaire playboy named Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell). He was shipwrecked on a remote island in the South China Sea and presumed dead for five years. Oliver eventually returned home as a changed man, bent on righting the wrongs of his family and fighting injustice as a master archer and crime fighting vigilante. Other characters in season five are played by Katie Cassidy, Willa Holland, David Ramsey, Paul Blackthorne, Emily Bett Rickards, Echo Kellum, Josh Segarra, John Barrowman, and Colton Haynes.

Season Five Ratings

The fifth season of Arrow averaged a 0.62 rating in the 18-49 demographic with 1.76 million viewers. Compared to the fourth season, that’s down by 35% in the demo, and down by 29% in total viewers. Learn how Arrow stacks up against the other CW TV shows.

Telly’s Take

Arrow’s ratings have dropped quite a bit in season five but it’s still doing well by CW standards. It’s no surprise that the network renewed Arrow for a sixth season. However, with such significant ratings slides, I have to wonder how long the series can continue. My gut tells me that Arrow won’t stay on the air for as long as Supernatural has.

I love Arrow but I’m wondering why the season 6 premiere is set for Thursday night at 11p.m. it kind of seems like this might be it’s last season.

Used to love this series,but last couple of seasons it seems to have took a real nose dive, costumes have gone over to the silly side,no longer dark and mysterious beginning to look more like a kids anime show,and Felicity needs to put a speed control on her mouth, sounds like shes on amphetamines or something,sad,not going to watch anymore.

I will be glad for a season six, but I agree with comments that Oliver and Felicity not being together are where the series took a wrong turn. Their chemistry and their relationship is a lynchpin for success. They are just so good together and anything other than that kind of relationship just leaves things flat, in my opinion. The crossover shows have been a lot of fun as well.

Green Arrow and Black Canary are an iconic comic book couple with 50 years of history as a duo. Felicity was a character that was invented for the TV series and the forced coupling with Oliver just didn’t work.

Renew, bring back Olicity – that’s where you will get your viewers. Their chemistry along with the humor (as in season 1 and 2) along with fighting evil is where you need to be. You probably lost viewership when you got away from other aspects – relationships. The angst. Bring it back.

It should definitely be renewed. I love the characters. The fact that Steven Smell does many of his own stunts keeps me watching. I also love how other spin offs are woven into the story line making the world of Starling City much larger and interconnected.

The only thing that will bring me back to the Dark, Sad, Depressing Arrow is for he and Felicity to get happy and married.
